Boost your metabolism day in day out

Metabolizm is a diet supplement which will help you boost your metabolism both during the day and at night while sleeping when you need to recover.

The supplement consists of two capsules, each with different ingredients and fulfilling different functions. The day capsule will boost your energy and speed up your metabolism. The night capsule will help you stabilize the effects you’ve achieved during the day! Unique composition of the supplement is based on plant extracts and natural substances which have been used for hundreds of years to restore metabolic balance to the human body.

The day capsule contains extracts from green tea, chili pepper, cinnamon bark and  Berberis artista. The active substances that they contain are to speed up and balance metabolism while protecting against negative effects of free radicals.

Green tea extract

High content of polyphenols is the main reason for health benefits of green tea. They may constitute even as much as 30% of dry leaf weight. Catechins are responsible for green tea’s beneficial health effects. They have a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. Stress, pollution, drugs and even increased physical activity can expose the body to harmful effects of free radicals. Green tea extract helps decrease their number and prevent negative effects of their activity by inhibiting lipid peroxidation, neutralization of free radicals and limiting the creation of reactive oxygen species.

Chili pepper extract

Chili pepper contains capsaicin which boosts metabolism on many levels and is used as appetite suppressant stimulating thermogenesis. It activates brown adipose tissue which is connected to an increased metabolic pace and higher metabolic rate. Research shows that chili pepper extract helps achieve better results in weight loss.

Cinnamon bark extract

Cinnamon bark extracts have been recommended for centuries as preparations that help treat diabetes and other diet-dependent diseases. It has been proved that cinnamon may take part in regulating carbohydrate metabolism connected with glycogen synthesis, a decrease in glucose absorption in the intestines and improvement of insulin pathways. Moreover, substances in cinnamon bark modulate immune response to infection, lower cholesterol level, reduce ghrelin secretion (the hormone which increases our appetite) and show antioxidant properties.

Berberis aristata (Berberine)

Berberine is a plant alkaloid obtained from Berberis artista extracts which has numerous pharmacological properties, the most important being: anticancer, antiatherosclerotic, antioxidant, immunomodulating. It also lowers glucose and cholesterol levels. Berberine increases the use of glucose in adipose tissue cells and at the same time lowers glucose absorption in intestines. Research on patients with metabolic syndrome has shown that berberine improves lipid and carbohydrate metabolism thereby reducing body weight and waist circumference.

The night capsule contains conjugated linoleic acid diens (CLA), extract from the root of coleus forskohlii and banaba leaf extract. They all stimulate metabolism of carbohydrates and fat during your sleep.

Conjugated linoleic acid diens –  CLA

CLA has a great potential for decreasing the amount of adipose tissue by reducing visceral fat which is the one in your belly. It also improves blood lipid parameters and decreases the uptake of glucose. What is more, CLA lowers blood pressure.  

Coleus forskohlii root extract

The major active substance in coleus forskohlii is forskolin. It was used as far back as ancient times, in natural Indian medicine. The extracts were used for treating high blood pressure, asthma and cardio-vascular complications. Today we know that forskolin stimulates the metabolism of adipose tissue and testosterone production. It reduces fat while saving the muscle mass. Moreover, coleus forskohlii extracts have a favourable effect on endothelium by widening blood vessels and protecting us from circulatory disorders.

Banaba leaf extract

Banaba leaf extracts have been used for years to help treat diabetes which is connected with their hypoglycemic properties. When we consider glucose metabolism, the beneficial effects of these extracts comprise: higher cellular glucose uptake, increased sensitivity of cells towards insulin and lower gluconeogenesis. Balancing lipid metabolism involves mostly lowering the level of triglycerides and cholesterol. Clinical studies have shown that banaba leaf extract improves biochemical blood parameters and facilitates weight loss in patients with diabetes and metabolic disorders.
